This document summarizes work performed by Delta Information Systems, Inc., for the Office of Technology and Standards of the National Communications System, an organizations of the U.S. Government, under Contract number DCA100-86-C-0099. The Office of Technology and Standards, headed by National Communications System Assistant Manager Dennis Bodson, is responsible for the development of advanced technology for the NCS. The Office of the Manager, NCS requires timely, accurate information about the status of communications resources during national emergencies and declared disasters. This led to the realization that an automated decision support system would be useful to NCS Emergency Management Teams, which play a significant role in the monitoring and resolution of such situations. The Emergency Preparedness Management Information System (EPMIS) is an integral part of the National Emergency Telecommunications Management System, which is designed to allow the Manager, National Communications System (NCS) to respond to declared national emergencies.
